The renewable energy systems have been in the spotlight as an alternative for environmental issues. Therefore, the governmental policies are being implemented to spread of promote power generation system using renewable energy in various countries around the world. In addition, Korea has also developed a policy called the power trading contract which can profit from electricity produced from renewable power generation system through Korea Electric Power Corporation (KEPCO) and Korea Power Exchange (KPX). As a result, the power trading contracts can trade power after self-consuming in-house by using small-scale renewable power system for residential customers as well as electricity retailers. The power trading contracts applicable as a small-scale power system have a 'Net metering (NM)' and a 'Power Purchase Agreement (PPA)', and these two types of power trading contracts trade surplus power, but payment method of each power trading is different. The microgrid proposed in this paper is based on grid connected microgrid using Photovoltaic (PV) system and Energy Storage System (ESS), that supplied power to residential demand, we evaluate the operation cost of microgrid by power demand in each power trading contracts and propose the appropriate power trading contracts according to electricity demand.

This study focuses on the performance of hydrogen energy based hybrid system in terms of system reliability of electricity generation. With this aim to evaluate the off-grid system of photovoltaic (PV), wind turbine, electrolyzer, fuelcell, $H_2$ tank and storage batteries, 14 different sites in South Korea are simulated using HOMER. Performance analysis includes simulation on the different sites, verification of operational behaviors on regional and seasonal basis, and comparison among a control group. The result shows that the generation performance of hydrogen powered fuelcell is greatly affected by geographical change rather than seasonal effect. In addition, as the latitude of the hybrid systems location decrease, renewable power output and penetration ratio (%) increase under constant electrical load. Therefore, the hydrogen based hybrid system creates the stability of electricity generation, which best suits in the southern part of South Korea.

This paper proposes a novel high step-up non-isolated DC-DC converter, suitable for regulating dc bus in various inherent low voltage micro sources especially for photovoltaic (PV) and fuel cell sources. This novel high voltage Non-isolated Boost DC-DC converter topology is best replacement, where high voltage conversion ratio is required without the transformer and also need continuous input current. Since the proposed topology utilizes the stack-based structure, the voltage gain, and the efficiency are higher than other conventional non-isolated converters. Switches in this topology is easier to control since its control signal is grounding reference. Also, there is no need of extra gate driver and extra power supply for driver circuit, which reduces the cost and size of system. In order to show the feasibility and practicality of the proposed topology principle operation, steady state analysis and simulation result is presented and analyzed in detail. To verify the performance of proposed converter and theoretical analysis 360W laboratory prototype is implemented.

Recently, the demand for high penetration of variable renewable energy (VRE) penetration in a power system is increased. In consequence, distribution systems including microgrids confront the increased installation of VRE-based distributed generation. Despite of the high demand of VRE-based distributed generation in a distribution system, the installation of photovoltaic (PV) system in a distribution system has been restricted by various problems. In other words, the hosting capacity for high VRE penetration in a distribution system is limited. This paper analyzes the improvements of hosting capacity VRE penetration of stand-alone microgrid (SAMG) with energy storage system (ESS) by considering virtual-slack (VS) control based on power sensitivity. With the pre-defined power sensitivity, the ESS operates as virtual slack in the SAMG by controlling its bus voltage and phase angle indirectly. Therefore, the ESS enables the increase of VRE penetration in the SAMG. The proposed VS control is realized by analyzing the ESS as a virtual slack in power flow analysis based on power sensitivity. Then its validity is demonstrated with the case study on the SAMG in South Korea with practical data.

기존의 고정형 EV(electric vehicle) 충전기는 이용률이 증가하게 되면 충전 인프라 설비 부족으로 인해 사용자의 충전 대기시간이 길어지는 불편함이 발생할 수 있고, EV 충전기를 증설하는 경우, 배전선로(지중) 증설비용 및 선로의 전압강하로 인한 전력품질 문제가 발생할 수 있다. 따라서, 본 논문에서는 상기의 문제점을 해결하고, EV 충전기 부족으로 인한 불편함을 해결할 수 있는 EV용 이동형 전원공급장치(movable power supply device, MPSD)를 제안한다. 제안한 MPSD는 태양광전원부, 에너지저장부, EV용 충전기부, 감시제어부로 구성되고, 사용자의 환경요소에 따라 MPSD를 유연하게 이용할 수 있도록 3가지 운용모드로 나눌 수 있다. 또한, 경제성 평가 모델링을 비용요소와 편익요소로 구분한다. 여기서, MPSD의 비용요소로는 태양광전원부, 에너지저장부, EV 충전기부, 감시제어부의 설비비용과 기존의 EV 충전기 설비비용, 배전선로 증설비용, 기존의 EV 충전기 운용비용등의 편익요소로 구성되며, 이를 바탕으로 현재 가치 환산법을 사용하여 경제성을 평가한 결과, MPSD가 기존의 고정형 EV 충전기보다 유리함을 알 수 있었고, 설치지점의 거리에 따라 편익이 크게 좌우함을 확인하였다.

This study was conducted to estimate the relative performance of modules with changed characteristics due to long term exposure to the outdoor environment, with a specially made test device for simultaneous measurement of real time power output from the photovoltaic array, taking into account the inclined panel, direct irradiation, power being generated, temperature as well as the optimal analysis timing. In terminology description, M is an abbreviation of module and Group A, Group B are 10 modules series connection (1~10 of M), (11~20 of M) for each of them respectively. The overall mean voltage difference of M-18 with the lowest power output and M-14 with the highest output is-2.13V and it was identifiable that voltage difference was more concentrated to Group B. In addition, in case of M-2 and M-7, M-8, when compared with M-14, the overall mean voltage difference was -0.92V, -1.56 and -0.91V respectively showing the more concentration to Group A. When the temperature of module went up by $1^{\circ}C$, the mean voltage was reduced by 0.35V. For current, Group A was lower than Group B by-0.022A and the ratio of each group was 49.68% and 50.32% respectively, presumably the module with deteriorated properties were more concentrated to Group A relatively. From the comparison of relations with the comprehensive accumulation, M-2, M-7, M-8, M-16 and M-18 were those with deterioration of performance to the worst, thereby requiring precision examination. In comparative efficiency, M-14 was the most excellent one as 12.19% while M-18 as 10.53% was identified that its efficiency was comparatively rapidly reduced.

This study is to research technical measures for improving energy efficiency in the conservation and reuse of historic buildings focused on the recent research trends and case studies of the west. These measures are broadly classified into three types, the passive measures for saving energy and increasing comfort, the most cost-effective energy saving strategies, and the renewable energy sources. Firstly, the passive measures are divided into the elements and systems. The passive elements are awnings and overhanging eaves, porches, shutters, storm windows and doors, and shade trees. There are also the natural ventilation systems such as the historic transoms, roofs and attics to improve airflow and cross ventilation to either distribute, or exhaust heat. Secondly, the most cost-effective energy efficiency strategies are the interior insulation, airtightness and moisture protection, and the thermal quality improvement of windows. The energy efficiency solutions of modern buildings are the capillary-active interior insulation, the airtightness and moisture protection of interior walls and openings, and the integration of the original historic window into the triple glazing. Beyond the three actions, the additional strategies are the heat recovery ventilation, and the illumination system. Thirdly, there are photovoltaic(PV) and solar thermal energy, wind energy, hydropower, biomass, and geothermal energy in the renewable energy sources. These energy systems work effectively but it is vital to consider its visual effect on the external appearance of the building.
